Nobody can remember last season. Those painful August memories of Juncallilo bare and muddy, and Vizcachas closed, are hardly traceable now. The snow is that good. Yesterday, sunny and cold, was by far the best day of this year. With over 70 more cm of quality fluff having fallen in the last week, Portillo's rock problem is long buried. Everything is open and skiable. On Friday morning I enjoyed both sides of Gargantita, Vizcachas, as well as an awesome chute below Primavera, all of which didn't open last season. I couldn't ski today (goddamn Saturdays!), but friends said only good things. Tomorrow's slated to be clear, so everyone is expecting more of the same: sunshine and powder. Below are photos from Thursday's whiteout and the following morning. Que bueno.
